Thumbs up then Dan


Can't beat the budget video cam kit. Ł35 security camera Ł10 camera mount and a Ł31 VHS video. Cheap as chips.

Got more film of the day to do, But your going to have to wait for that.

Not that its a criticism but its one of my pet hates when people drive with one hand because they think it shows how skilled they are.

Wasn't impressed with the vid as the contrast was all wrong and you couldnt see through the windscreen

Budget camera kit as stated above

And to be honest I feel a lot more comfortable cornering with one hand as you dont really get crossed up trying to fight with your own hands and the spin was not at a very tight bend more of a progressive surface change tarmac to concrete at high speed .

Two thumbs up Dan

Well recovered on that one! It's a shame there is so much glare on the windscreen as you dont really get the full affect without seeing whats outside.

Just what is it with the one handed driving

Can anyone please please tell me what is wrong with this if it feels better for me than 2 hands

I was not on the track with anyone esle or racing , and was taking it easy ,lol,
I didnt realise that driving with one hand when just thrashing round a track on your own was any serious problem if i was on track with 10 other cars , had my helmet on and was ready for some serious action then maybee i would be driving with both hands on the wheel ( maybee not ) I just dont see what the problem is ,,,,and realy dont give a shit either , so as said if you have a problem with it

Please feel free to give a full detailed description of how to drive when on track and i will try my very best to learn the correct way to drive before my next big spin

I will be trying this again in a few weeks and try to do it with both hands on the wheel just to show how much harder it is to drive like that .NOT .
